As for the scenes themselves exploiting the children

Abuse can be shown and explained without doing an abuse.

If I want to make a movie against conversion therapy on gay men, I will not take gay man and use electroshock on them to convert into straight - and then say "see, it is bad, he is suffering!".

You do not need to be abusive yourself to show that abuse is bad and that people are suffering from it.

You can't fight with problem while multiplying this problem yourself and being a part of the problem.

I suppose I think of it the same way I would think of a kid filming a rape or molestation scene

So when they will film new movie about child sexual abuse or molestions, it is fine for them to make sexual abuse or molestion scenery on girl actresses to film it for the movie? Sounds very absurd.

But they do film those kinds of scenes with kids. Obviously no kid is getting raped for real, just like no woman is getting raped for real. But they get the kid to act it out. If Cuties were to be made illegal, those scenes should be made illegal, too. I don't see how you can film a rape or molestation scene with a kid and not have it affect the kid.

Did you watch the movie?
